Here’s the thing; in certain circumstances Chuck’s advice would work. If the bodybuilder wasn’t eating enough calories to start with, his body would burn the muscle he’s trying to build in order to keep going! (Joys of having a boilogist as a sis).

Ken, you’re totally right, and that’s kindof what I was going for. If this guy had a big calorie deficit beforehand, of course he wouldn’t be growing muscle, so is he upped his count, even if it wasn’t the best quality food, he’d probably still grow if he was working out just right. Add in genetic factors, and you’ve got a recipe for muscle gain. However,most people would have to eat a better diet for that to work, and those of us like Chuck and myself can eat at bagel and suddenly gain 28 pounds, even if we work out. It’s a lot to overcome…
